Translation

Translation

What is Translation?

• The message of the mRNA must be turned into a chain of amino acids

• The mRNA stops at a ribosome

• The mrNA is "read" three letter at a time

• These three letters are called a codon

Multiple Choice

The three letters that code for an amino acid is called a

• code

• anti-codon

• clue

• codon

Multiple Choice

Translation occurs at a

• ER

• ribosome

• nucleus

• golgi apparatus

How do the amino acids get to the ribosome?

• Each molecule of tRNA brings an amino acid to the ribosome

• The anti-codon of the tRNA is complementary to the codon of the mRNA

• The amino acids bond together to form a chain or PROTEIN!!!!

Multiple Choice

A chain of amino-acids is called a

• Carbohydrate

• Nucleic Acid

• Protein

• Lipid

Multiple Choice

The amino acids are brought to the ribosome by

• rRNA

• mRNA

• tRNA

• pRNA

Multiple Choice

The anti-codon is complementary to the

• codon

• anti-codon

• code

• answer

Multiple Choice

If the anti-codon is AUG, the codon would be

• AUG

• ATC

• ATG

• UAC

How does tRNA know what amino acid to bring to the ribosome?

• Each codon on the mRNA equals one amino acid

• A codon table tells you which amino acid goes with each codon

Multiple Choice

Each codon codes for three amino acids.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

What amino acid goes with AUG?

• Start/MET

• SER

• HIS

• LYS

Multiple Choice

What amino acid goes with GCA?

• HIS

• MET

• PHEN

• ALA

Multiple Choice

What amino acids goes with AAA?

• LYS

• HIS
